Is this GDPR or PECR?

The original EU legislation that became known as the “E-Privacy Directive“ was published in 2003 and implemented as European Directive - 2002/58/EC then amended by Directive 2009/136/EC that included a requirement to seek consent for cookies and similar technologies. The EU Directive entered UK law on 26th May 2011 as “The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011” often refered to as PECR - and this is still in force today. PECR sits alongside the more widely known legistration GDPR - both are regulated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) www.ico.gov.uk .

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is used by a website to send 'state information' to a users' browser and for the browser to return the state information to the website. The state information can be used for authentication, identification of a user session, user preferences, shopping cart contents, or anything else that can be accomplished through storing text data on the user's computer.

Cookies cannot be programmed, cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer. However, they can be used to track users browsing activities which was a major privacy concern that prompted European and US law makers to take action.

Cookies are used by most websites for a variety of reasons - often very practical reasons to do with the operation of the website. However, they are also used to monitor how people are using the website (which pages are visited and how long is spent on each page). Each "visitor session" is tracked even though no effort is made to try to identify the user in person.

The new legislation now states that you must be able to opt-out from having cookies stored on their computer.

What Happens If You Opt-Out

If you decide to disable cookies we record this so you don't get asked the question again. You will find that most of the website works as expected although functions that rely on cookies are obviously disabled. These functions include using online forms (e.g. our enquiry form) or any feature that requires login. We use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences, which has a couple of consequences:

If you delete all your cookies you will have to tell us your preference again

If you use a different device, computer profile or browser you will have to tell us your preference again

From the outset Abdul reassured me, talked me through everything and put my mind at ease that I was in the best possible hands at a time of stress and panic. The process from our initial meeting was seamless and Abdul put plans in place for me to receive the best possible outcome in court with some ground work from myself. I honestly can't thank Abdul enough for his services, although he was there in a professional manner he also showed great understanding of my situation and helped me through a difficult time.

Scott Hessel

You certainly know what you are doing in court, your knowledge, experience and the delicate way in which you handled the magistrates really made the difference. It was my first time in front of a magistrate and it was clear to see that it could so easily have gone either way.

Simon Bedford

I was put in touch with Abdul at DFR solicitors by a colleague. He did not only put me at ease but also was in touch with my wife and explained the process etc. to her. It was not a pleasant experience attending court etc. but it was made easier thanks to Abdul's professionalism, thoroughness and reassurance. Abdul is a specialist in this field - it is all he deals with.
